Player contributions are not required in order to be on the team, but they are the primary funding source for our program. Your contributions go towards the following player expenses: Uniform jersey’s & pinnie's (returned at end of season), team shorts and socks (players keep), team equipment, supplies, coaches salaries and travel expenses, referees for home games, game administration for home games, bookkeeping, equipment replacement and repair, player scholarships, team photos and end-of-year banquet.

The Davis High School lacrosse team provides each player with the following:

- two uniform jersey’s (blue for away and white for home games)

Jersey’s, pinnie's and shorts are the only items owned by the team and must be returned at the end of season in
the condition issued. Players keep their shooter shirts and socks. Players will be responsible for paying to replace lost or destroyed jerseys & pinnies.
